Parts of downtown evacuated after charity fills with gas

A building normally filled with volunteers working to help homeless families in the community was filled with natural gas on Monday morning. The Center for the Homeless, Miller's veterans center, and all businesses in the 700-block of Michigan and Main Streets had to be evacuated.

The South Bend Police Department said police have investigated two incidents recently where a suspect broke into Our Lady of the Road, turned on the burners, and left the Catholic charity.
